This emerald and ruby red raspberry delight is an anti-inflammatory, metabolism-boosting and antioxidant-rich liquid breakfast. Whip this up in less than 5 minutes and feel satisfied right up until lunchtime.

Those who know me would say that I’m a little short on patience. I want to get things done fast, I move fast and I eat fast. It’s something I’m working on – I have to consciously remind myself that there’s no rush to do things.

My lack of patience is also probably why I tend to make things that are either low on fuss, done in a relatively short amount of time, or with few ingredients – which is why this three-ingredient recipe instantly caught my eye. Yep, you read that right: three ingredients! It’s as easy as making a cup of tea. Seriously.

These are the ultimate snack food or entree that’s oh-so healthy, delicious and works well with homemade hummus or sweet chilli sauce. On it’s own, though, it’s like having hot chips without the side of guilt!

Who needs to buy a chocolate milkshake, thickshake or ice-cream drink concoction when this healthy smoothie tastes SO MUCH better and it’s good for you (you’ll be satisfying your chocolate craving while sneaking in some veggie goodness thanks to the baby spinach. Plus, blending the chia seeds makes them more easily absorbed in the body).

This holiday season I whipped up the most glorious, sun-shiny and tropical cake by Lauren Glucina from Ascension Kitchen. Like most raw cake recipes I like to make, it’s gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free and vegan.
